What our customers say:
All our TeslaCam drives fit in the Jeda Hub (including the hidden TeslaCam compartment)
Why microSD cards?
The microSD drives we use are designed for Dashcam systems. These cards are rugged, built to withstand extreme heat and cold, which is perfect for being left in a car year round, and have a write speed that far surpasses the minimum Tesla requirement (4 MB/sec).
Regular USB flash drives cannot withstand the constant recording that takes place with Dashcam systems and will fail…probably when you need it the most. microSD cards, specifically those in this package, are up to the task and can handle the burden.
Dashcam and Sentry Mode captures...
- Accidents
- Hit and Run
- Unusual occurances
…and so much more.
- Theft
- Keying
- Door Dings
Frequently Asked Questions
Tesla vehicles that have AP2.5 hardware or later are compatible with recording video to a USB drive.
AP2.5 hardware started shipping on Tesla vehicles starting in August 2017, with a full conversion in October 2017.
USB recording is NOT compatible with AP1.0 or AP2.0 hardware (vehicles manufactured before August 2017).
No, your Pure Tesla USB drive comes entirely pre-formatted for TeslaCam.
Simply open the package and plug the USB drive into your Tesla. That's it!

Dashcam is a system built into your Tesla. When a properly formatted USB drive (like the one we sell) is inserted into the USB port in your Tesla, the car will start recording from the front, left, right, and rear cameras.
The system retains the most recent hour of footage before overwriting itself.
To save footage, simply tap the Dashcam icon (small camera with red dot) and the last 10 minutes of footage will be saved permanently to the SavedClips folder on the drive. It will remain until you delete it.
Sentry Mode, when enabled, monitors your Tesla while it is parked and locked. When a potential threat is detected, the system enters Alert state, which starts the four cameras recording (front, left, right, rear) and also displays a message on the center screen.
If the threat becomes physical (entering vehicle, damage, etc) it will enter Alarm state and will activate the lights, horn, and music in the car.
Video clips from both Alert and Alarm states are saved to the SentryClips folder on your USB drive. The oldest clips overwrite when the drive fills up.

I received Tesla Cam package within the time frame as promised. Snapped it in one of my USB ports on my Model 3 and it started working from the get-go. Much, much easier than formatting it yourself, as I had done before, only to have it stop working for me after a few months. Nice to have peace of mind on this important car feature. Thank you Jeff.

It was extremely easy to install and works very well. If I had the patience and know-how I could have probably saved a few dollars by purchasing everything and formating it myself, but this made it very easy!

The microSD Ultra Plus was shipped reasonably quick, but the USPS lost it the LA warehouse for a week. I contacted Pure Tesla and after a false start they read the riot act to USPS and the shipment was delivered on the second day. Gotta love that kind of customer service!

Not that this guy needs more amazing reviews – but, it’s all true. Even as an advanced computer user, and someone who could have easily purchased a thumb drive and micro SD card, it was still great to open something from the mail, and KNOW without a doubt that it would just work well. I appreciate that he put some thought into which readers are the best and also personally tested them. Thank you!

Reliable delivery of product. My Tesla has not arrived yet, will take about a month, haven’t used the device yet.
